Key Parameters

Substitute Part Grouping Explanation

Substitution eligibility for the FTS-150-02-F-DV is determined by strict alignment of the following critical parameters:

• Connector Type & Contact Configuration: Header, cuttable design with male pin contacts
• Position & Row Configuration: 100 positions in 2-row arrangement
• Pitch Specifications: 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch and row spacing
• Mounting & Termination: Surface mount with solder termination
• Contact Properties: Gold-plated mating surface, phosphor bronze material
• Insulation & Material: Liquid Crystal Polymer (LCP) insulation, UL94 V-0 flammability rating
• Environmental Compliance: ROHS3 compliance and MSL 1 rating
• Electrical Performance: 3.4A per contact current rating, -55°C to 125°C operating range

The FTSH-150-02-F-DV qualifies as a direct substitute based on matching all critical parameters. Variations in insulation height (0.099" vs 0.034") represent a design enhancement within the same product family and do not affect functional substitutability for standard board-to-board applications.

Parameter Comparison

Engineering Selection Recommendations

Both the FTS-150-02-F-DV and FTSH-150-02-F-DV are active production parts from Samtec Inc. with full ROHS3 compliance and identical electrical and mechanical specifications. Selection between these parts should be based on the following criteria:

FTS-150-02-F-DV is appropriate for applications where a lower profile insulation height (0.034") is required, such as space-constrained PCB designs or applications with specific stacking height limitations.

FTSH-150-02-F-DV is appropriate for applications where increased insulation height (0.099") provides enhanced mechanical stability, improved creepage distances, or better accommodation of adjacent components on the PCB.

Both parts maintain identical electrical performance, current ratings, temperature ranges, and compliance certifications. The choice between them is determined by mechanical fit requirements within the specific application environment.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q: Are FTS-150-02-F-DV and FTSH-150-02-F-DV electrically interchangeable?

A: Yes. Both parts feature identical contact configurations, pitch specifications, current ratings (3.4A per contact), operating temperature ranges (-55°C to 125°C), and contact materials. Electrical performance is equivalent.

Q: What is the primary difference between these two parts?

A: The insulation height differs: FTS-150-02-F-DV has 0.034" (0.86mm) insulation height, while FTSH-150-02-F-DV has 0.099" (2.51mm) insulation height. This affects the overall profile and mechanical fit on the PCB.

Q: Can I substitute FTSH-150-02-F-DV for FTS-150-02-F-DV in a space-constrained design?

A: No. The FTSH variant has greater insulation height and may not fit in designs with strict height limitations. Verify PCB clearance and component spacing before substitution.

Q: Can I substitute FTS-150-02-F-DV for FTSH-150-02-F-DV?

A: Yes, provided the lower profile does not compromise mechanical stability or creepage distance requirements in your application. Confirm PCB layout compatibility.

Q: Are both parts RoHS compliant?

A: Yes. Both FTS-150-02-F-DV and FTSH-150-02-F-DV are ROHS3 compliant with MSL 1 (Unlimited) moisture sensitivity level.

Q: What is the mating pitch for these connectors?

A: Both parts feature 0.050" (1.27mm) mating pitch with 0.050" (1.27mm) row spacing in a 2-row, 100-position configuration.

Q: Are these parts suitable for high-current applications?

A: Each contact is rated for 3.4A. Total current capacity depends on the number of contacts used and PCB trace design. Verify thermal management for high-current implementations.
